Data science for the Earth.

by Tsengelmaa Nyamdorj | 06-02-2020 23:11 recommendations 0

As a young student who is entering college this autumn as a data analyst major, I view data science as more than graphs and tables, but an individual interpretation of numbers that is particularly designed for a certain industry. The power of numbers is amazing when you realize how it can impact people and specify each little problem with accuracy; it doesn¡¯t stop with economy and business but cultivates with biology, chemistry, politics to environmental works. 

With the help of technology, data scientists attained the ability to collect massive amounts of data and then, turn it into an easy-to-understand conclusion. So, in the past, advocates were simply ignored as having inaccurate demands and no-proofs; now, people have everything from the proof, accuracy, trust, and census thanks to numbers. Words from activists are being taken seriously with the number and conclusion from various sources like UN, WWF to random tech-guy from New-York. The availability of data and ability-to-use technology, made everyone around the world become aware of environmental issues. 

Not only that, but data science also highlighted the linkage between class distinction, hierarchical-privilege with the vulnerability to natural disasters. With different demographic-based studies, scientists proved how the poor and the vulnerable were the first-in-line when it comes to natural catastrophes. (The movie ¡®Parasite¡¯ depicts this idea perfectly on a screen.) Since then, many advocates to famous people have called it out like how Alexander Ocasio-Cortez addressed the recent earthquake in Puerto Rico-- ¡°My abuela relies on oxygen, and the power outage means she¡¯s not breathing as she should - just one of many such stories." The number gave power to people who would demand the protection of their future and the prosperity of the earth.

    Hello Tsengelmaa

    Data science is one of the field that is growing faster than any other studies in the world. It's good that data science provides proofs about various arguments. To me, it seems like a positive effect of technological improvements to the environment. It will give proved feedback to the decisions that are to be made in the future.

    Thank you for the great report!

    Hey Tsengelmaa!
    It's Lisa once again:)

    Data science does contribute to the improvement of how we analyze the environmental problems, the predictions that we make for the natural catastrophes and also helps us study the status quo that we are at. The contribution made to various sectors as you have mentioned I believe are very meaningful! I really like the quote that you made at the end of your report the number did give us some power! Yet, I think it is only meaningful if they are put into good usage. Let's expect to see some positive changes made by these numbers!

    Great article and enjoyed reading it very much:)
